Christmas is the twelfth studio album and the first Christmas album by Kenny Rogers released in 1981.
The album features several songs that were already well-known at the time including "White Christmas", "When A Child is Born", "Carol of the Bells" and "My Favorite Things". Several original Christmas songs are also included, which have also now become well-known via this album.
Christmas was also the origin of Kenny's first holiday single, "Kentucky Home Made Christmas". This song was also later included on the various artists compilation "Now That's What I Call Christmas!: 36 Christmas Songs - The Signature Collection" in 2003.
The album peaked at #10 on the U.S. Country charts and #34 on the overall U.S. charts.
In some quarters (including the UK and United States) the title has changed to "Christmas Wishes" and the album reissued in 1985 with an alternate track list. In other countries though, "Christmas" is still the title.
